The 66-year-old actress went on The Talk and revealed candid details about her very active sex life.

Commenters on Facebook were incensed (and rightfully so) after learning that Miley Cyrus told Matt Lauer that "old" people around 40 "don't have sex anymore." And when Lauer told Cyrus that he's 55, the singer said that he's "definitely not sexual." Her remarks also sparked the ire of Suzanne Somers, who took to a very public forum to refute them.

On yesterday's episode of The Talk, 66-year-old Somers announced that she and her husband of 36 years have sex "a couple times a day," adding, "He's on hormones and I'm on hormones.... What is it about men at four in the morning? And then I'm really awake around eight or so. We have busy mornings."

We appreciate Somers' candor—she's totally in the right. "Miley's comments are ludicrous. We're all sexual beings from birth to death," Rachel Needle, a psychologist at the Center for Marital and Sexual Health of South Florida, tells us. "Plenty of studies have shown that sex remains very important to us, to relationships, and to satisfaction in life as we age."

Sex also gets better for many people after age 40. "Your confidence goes up, and you know what you want and what it takes to satisfy you," Needle says. Preach.
